Terminology nit: if by "promise pipelining" you mean the fact that p.then() returns a new promise dependent on p, I would call that "promise chaining". In the two languages that established promises, i.e. Argus and E, the term "promise pipelining" specifically refers to minimizing network round-trips to reduce latency when using promises combined with RPCs. See < http://www.erights.org/elib/distrib/pipeline.html>. Cheers, Tom
